In what is perhaps one of the most satisfying lawsuits of this or any year, the Beastie Boys have sued Monster Energy bka The Purveyors of Club District Puke-Fuel for copyright infringement. The complaint alleges that the company illegally used the band's likenesses and music in a series of promotional campaigns for their “Ruckus in the Rockies” events, which I haven't heard of and refuse to google. The Beasties are asking for $150,000 in damages for each infringement, which if they win, will probably end up donated to the Red Bull Music Academy because these guys are still shitkickers.
